The first time I joined tarvalon.net was I believe in 2010, and I remember back then there being guilds (Gleeman's guild, healing guild etc). When I became a citizen this time around I went looking for the guilds as they were a favorite part of my experience here, but saw they had been replaced by the Discussion groups. Which is ok, because that makes sense
However I had been thinking for awhile about how much I missed the guilds. For citizen's besides the tavern it was one of the first groups you could belong to, and it was a great intro into getting to know all the different amazing people we have here at tv.net It was a way you could be part of a group based on your interests, and for new citizens or resident citizens it was the only specific group they could be a part of right off the bat (being apart of an ajah or a company is something to dream of in the future for a citizen since it is a long road to both, and guilds gave them a group to belong to before that )
In a way that has become the purpose of the Brand of the Red Hand, a place for new citizens or resident citizens to have a place to belong, an identity on tv.net besides general newbie before they ascend to novicehood/recruithood and seek their Tower home (that is not to say it is limited to just citizens as many people stick around long afterwards!) While this is a cool thing I think it would be cool if others could make their own guilds, different groups that citizens and beyond could browse and become a part of, in addition to their ajah and company. I think this would add to the immense amount of fun and rich community that we already have here on tv.net.
So here is my petition to add Guilds as a forum here on tv.net. Each "guild" could have its own thread and wouldn't need its own subforum, (unless such time as it would evolve into this being wanted and needed, which I don't see happening for a while). It could be accessable by members citizen and up, and would be open for people to make their own guilds, subject to the rules of the site of course. I can't forsee any immediate problems this would cause but if anyone sees something I don't I'll be glad to try and answer and see if I can adjust my proposal to be suitable
I eagerly await opinions and responses!
